One day Walt Disney had a vision.It was a vision of a place where children and parents could have fun together.The more Walt dreamed of a“magical park”,the more imaginative and elaborate it became.
The original plans for the park were on 8 acres next to the Burbank studios where his employees and families could go to relax.
During World War Two,Walt had time to come up with new ideas,and creations for his magical park.It was soon clear that 8 acres wouldn’t be enough.
Finally in 1953,He needed space to build rivers,waterfalls,and mountains;he would have flying elephants and a fairy-tale castle,moon rockets,and a scenic railway;all inside a magic kingdom he called“Disneyland”.

迪士尼世界
一天,沃特·迪士尼有了个幻想。这个幻想是一个孩子和父母可以在一起玩耍的地方。沃特对这个“魔幻公园”的幻想越多,这个公园就变得越富有想象力,越具体。
对于这个公园的原始计划是,在靠近伯班克工作室的一块8英亩大的地方,他的雇员和家人可以去那里放松。
在第二次世界大战期间,沃特有时间对他的魔幻公园提出新的观点和创意,很快就发现这个8英亩的公园不够用了。
最终在1953年,他需要空间来建造河流、瀑布和山脉;他想要把小飞象、童话城堡、月球火箭和一条观光铁路,以及所有的一切都装进一个叫作“迪士尼乐园”的魔幻王国。
